Effective Practice, Embodied Performance—

Alexander Technique Workshop for Performers and Athletes

No matter what you practice, it is the HOW of your practice that determines the quality of your performance.

So often, as artists or athletes, we unconsciously create habits of over-work and too much tension, which interfere with the quality of our performance — and in extreme cases, the ability to perform at all.

The specific Alexander principles of head/neck/back coordination determine the organization of the rest of the body. Stripping away unconscious over-effort leads to a deeper awareness and ability to find balance, support, and efficiency—and ultimately prevent injury.

This class includes movement, breath and body explorations. Bring an instrument, piece or movement to explore. Everyone will receive individual hands-on guidance, group feedback and practices to help you work on your own.

When Your Body Needs Help!

Alexander Technique Workshop For Dancers

Whether you have injuries or just an over-worked, stressed body, come for a practical exploration in how the Alexander Technique principles can be applied to working with your self in your daily life, in your daily technique class and in performance.

As dancers, sometimes we think that the harder we work, the more we will achieve. Alexander Technique teaches that how we work becomes just as important as the level of physicality at which we work.

Bad habits can accumulate over years, from using our bodies poorly in daily life as well as injuries. Unless we are mindful of how we use our bodies in regular life, bad habits can seep into dance class.

Head moving up off the top of the spine, while the torso lengthens and widens, legs and arms moving away from the torso, these are classical ballet ideals, and also principles that Alexander work clarifies in a practical way.

Join Constance for practical brain/body experiments in the most efficient way to gain a flexible, lengthening spine in daily life, in technique class and in performance.

Everyone will receive individual hands-on guidance, group feedback and practices to help you work on your own.

Work smarter, not harder—for more expression and less tension.
